Other times other ports seem OK albeit downloads are slower than normal. From about midnight I can download with no problem, mornings can be hit and miss. Other people I know who use BT and LW have noticed similar things.

There's nothing official and BT have a dreadful customer service helpdesk that it's not worth the effort contacting them. But this problem has existed for a while now
I now know that BT are blocking p2p, I've come back to use Limewire for the first time in nearly a month and it's the same response - I can't connect.

I think it's time to add BT to the list of ISP's that are blocking Gnutella. Ah, well...

I was sort of wondering (long after the fact)when that started happening to me.... Is it possible that you had just come to the end of a "monthly" max. data count? Say, your allowed "X" amount and then they pull back on the Raine's?
